The first time we held hands
I got butterflies in my stomach
The first time we kissed
I was soaring
But we hid our love
And then you moved away
And now that I've found you again
You've thrown me away

I want you to know
something I'm trying to hide
the way that I love you
is stuck bottled up inside.

I want to tell you
exactly how I feel
and that my feelings
are completely real.

I want to tell you
that I truly do
love you with all that I am
this is the truth.

I hide this feeling
only because I know
you don't feel the same
and I can't let you go.

I don't tell you this
for many reasons
but mainly because
my friendship with you
is too important
to ruined by three words...

As I sit here,
rooted to the ground
like the trees that surround,
day fades to night
and the sky sheds its color.
I gaze longingly as lovers pass
on the dimly lit
moonlight path,
charged on the energy
they generate together.

As I sit here
waiting for you,
I wonder if we will
ever be like that.
I wonder if you will ever feel
the current I feel
when you're around.
Your smile alone,
sends a spark through me
strong enough to knock me down.
I struggle to stay grounded
next to you.

As I sit here
I wonder when
it will be our turn
to love the fire inside.
To let it out
and show the world
how we burn for each other.

Until then
I will stay rooted here
waiting...
for you to unearth
the love
we've both been
waiting for..

You came, you greeted, you went away
That's how the way that you to stay
For those the words that slipped away
Please have another night to stay

You smiled, you blinked, you walked away
That's how the way that you to play
For those the pains please fly away
Fool me fool me of come what may

You came, you greeted, you went away
That's how you leave to faraway
For those feelings I never say
I always wish they stay this way

You smiled, you blinked, you walked away
That's how you do things always way
For those the hearts I spent away
Will do I keep forever way
